The Poora Cnliecuon of Historical Re,ics.

The Poora Cnliecuon of Historical Relics.
There is good deal of Speculation IN
Washington among the friends of Ben.
Perley Poore, who died recently, as to
the disposition of his accumulation of
historical papers and relics. His place,
the Indian Hill Farm, near Newbury-
port, Mass, is the most interesting resi-
dence i'll the United States, and is filled
with curiosities. There is not brlck or
a timber in the house and not an article
of furniture that has not a record of in
terest, and the whole accumulation is
larger than can be found in any museum
III the country. The first of the Poores
who came to the United States arrived
short time after the Mayfower and set,
tied at Plymouth, where he set UP as Il
teamster, and used to haul freight from
that place to Portsmouth, n. IL. On ore
of his trips he was attacked by the In
dians, losing his axes and narrowly es-
Gaping with mis- own life. The Indians
afterwards gave Mr. Poore the land now
known as Indian Hill Farm as compen
sation for the loss of his oxen, and it has
remained III the possession of the family
ever since. The grant, signed by the
Governor of the colony and the chief of
house still as the title to the property,
with the musket and the OK goad carried
by its first owner. The Poores always
had taste for collecting historical relics
and seldom, if ever, purchased anything
new. From the vestlbule to the stable
everything is antique and historical The
trees that surround the house came from
historical localIties-from .AbbotSford
from Strattord on Avon, from ST. Helena,
from the garden of the Caesars or the
castles on The Rhine-while every article
of furniture has some historical associa-
tion which gives it value. Several rooms
| in the house are devoted to the display
OF historical treasures and to Major
Poore they wee worth more than their
we ght in gold. lie has the drum that
beat the alarm at Concord and called to
gether the Minute Men; the sword that
General Warren Wore at Bunker Hill,
and Il thousand and one such relics. col
lected by his father or his grandfather or
himself. and the rooms i'll which they
are displayed are constructed from tim
bers that are from the house in which
Salem wit,hes lived, from the residence
of the first colonial Governor, from the
house of Miles Standsh and from other
equally Interesting sources.
All the money Major Poore had been
able TO scrape together, and his income
was never small, had been invested in
this collection, which to him was more
| 10 be priced than Nanderbilt's millions
HIS historical papers are more numerous
and valuable, doubtless, than any other
| III this country, and represent the labor
and cares of the family for more than Il
| century.

w orthy Grand Lodge of Good Tsmplars
this morning the committee on political
action reported. stating the objects. aims
aud position of the order. its policy of

the preliminary step to total prohibition.
The report concludes as follows: 1--WE
hereby declare it to be the duty of all
Good Templars to support, by their vote

KEEP PEGGING AWAY!

There's maxim that's true,
And I'll tell it to you,
All pensive young fellows,
Who sometimes get blue:
When the clouds gather fast
Till they darken the day,
Pray dou't get discouraged
Keep pegging away
There is Sunshine above,
Though it sometimes looks black;
There's an ocean of blue sky
Above the cloud rack;
Through the showers OF springtime
Comes forth smiling May;
SO don't get discouraged, -
Keep pegginS away
1t was care killed a cat,
In the days that are iiown;
And he's blind az bat
Who sits down to bemoau.
BE biithe and be cheerful,
Light hearted and gay,
And don't get discouraged
Keep pegging away!
And if in this process
You chance To peg ont.
Why, meet your fate bravely,
With heart good and stout.
And when all Is ended,
The angels will say:
lou did your work nobly,-
Kept pegsing away.

Cigarette smoking is doing more in
jury to the eyes than anything know Of, :"
said an "ptician recently to reporter for
the .N0H ami Express. In the same Journal
somebody gives this advice about caring
for the eyes: Keep shade on your lamp
or gas burner. Avoid ali sudden changes
between light and darkness. Never be-
gin to read, write or sew for several min.
utes after coming from ia kneSs to light.
Never read by twilight, moonlight or on
cloudy days Never read or st W directly
ID front of the light, window or door. 1t
is best to let the light fall from above
obl.quey over the left shoulder. Never
sleep SO that on first awakening the eyes
shall open up the light of a window. Do
not use the .yesight by light SO scaut
that it requires an effort to discriminate
The moment you are instinctively
prompted to rub your eyes that moment
stop using them. If the eyelids are glued
together on waking up do not forcibly
open them, but apply saliva with the fin
ger, i: is the speediest dilutant in the
world; then wash your eyes and face in
warm water.

MONTANA HORSE RAISING.

It has been pretty we'll determined that
while cattle raising in Montana is likely to
be attended with severe losses during a
hard winter, that may wipe out the profits
of several seasons, the raising OF horses is
not attended with the same risks. Horses
will paw away the snow and get at the
heritage and will protect themselves from
storms by seeking sheltered places. with an
intelligence never observed in cattle. Mon
tana bred horses have already obtained an
excellent reputation, and it seems that the
climatic and other conditions of the terri
tory are in every way adapted to raising
that kind of stock. But no matter how
excellent the conditions may be, they
amount to nothing unless there is market
at hand for the disposal of the horses. The
markets of the East are too distant, when
the expensive item of transportation is con-
sidered and must be, comparatively speak
ing. left out of consideration. But their
place is supplied at the very boundaries of
Montana. The rapid development of Da-
kota farm lands has caused a great demand
for draft and driving horses and this de-
mand is constantly increasing. 1t can not
be met more readily from any quarter than
from Montana, and in this fact lies the OPP
portunity of the stock growers of that terri
tory. Let them abandon uncertain cattle
raising for the more sure and equally profit
able breeding Of horses. Meet the Dakota
demand, and substantial reward will be
theirs

A VOID iowa MANURE.

WASHINGTON, April ia decision was
rendered by the supreme court OF the United
states to-dey in the railroad permit case of
Henry 5. Barron against George w. burnside,
shsrih OF Lynn county, Iowa, in error to the
supreme court of that state. The question
presented by the case is the validity of an act
0 the general assembly OF Iowa, approved
April u, 1855, entitled: An act recurring
foreAen corporations to file their articles of
incorporation with the secretary OF state and
imposing certain conditions upon such cor
porations transacting business in this state"
Inc OBJECT OF this is to compel foreign rail-
way corporations to take out permit for the
transaction of business within the state that
the railroad company if sued BY citizen of
the state shall not remove the case to &
federal court. This court in an opinion by
Justice Blatchford, holds that rs the Iowa
statute makes the right to a permit dependent
upon the surrender by the foreign corpora
ton of privilege secured to it by the consti-
tuition and laws Of the United States, the
statute Is void. The judgment of the SUI
preme court of Iowa is reversed, and the case
remanded with directions to enter Judgment
discharging the plaintiff in error of custody.
me corporation concerned in this case is the

WHAT IT MEANS.

There is singular concurrence among
all the leading journals of the country that
the lesson of the recent spring elections
throughout the country is that the indie
pendent voter is becoming more of an i'm
portant factor than formerly. 1t may not
mean recasting of party lines, or of a
disarmament of party organizations as they
now exist, but it certainly does
mean that party ties sit more lightly
on the average voter than they
once did, and that there has been a
lusty growth of political Independence
throughout the entire country. Party dis
cipline is losing its grip on the voting popu-
lation. The machine methods of former
days are inpOtent in holding the people to
political organizations and orders. The
Rhode Island revolution was not an isolated
instance of this growth of political indie
pendence Last weeks elections were all
in the same line. In some instances the
Republicans lost by it, in others the DEM
ocrats were the sufferers, but everywhere
was the same independent disposition mani
tested by the voter without regard to who
was hurt or helped by his independence. 1t
was in no sense a Mugwump boom. There
was no Mugwumpery about it. 1t was
simply tacit manifesto issued by the
voters of the country that they knew their
own business and knew how to go about it.
They want no dictation from political
bosses concerning matters which involve
the sanctity of law and the safety of per-
son. 1t is true that in some instances the
boldness of the anarchists and the persist
ence of the PrOhibitionistS helped the dis
memberment of party ties. But the
purpose of this independent action was to
give the politicians to understand that the
voters of the country understand the duties
of honest citizenship, and they are going to
do what is right and best, even if it does
result in a general smash-up of all the old
party organizations. There is a valuable
lesson in this for the politicians if they will
only study it and improve by it. 1t has a
direct bearing on the national contest in
1883. When correctly interpreted it means
that the presidential candidates must be
men who merit public confidence or they
will not get the support Of the voters. 1t
will make no difference how brilliant a
party leader candidate may have been in
the past, his brilliancy and partisan service
will not commend him to public support
unless he is known to be clean, honest
man, possessed of the moral courage to do
right under all circumstances. That is the
meaning of last weeks elections.
